unflaging interest the meeting was ter- | minated, which brought to the rememberance of many the happy days of the past. Collections were made for a new chapel. On Tuesday, 24th ultimo, was celebrated the recognition of G. Webb, as pastor of the Church, at Little Wild Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields. The afternoon service was conducted by the Rev. J. Blake, of Bow. Rev. B. Davies of Greenwich, read the Scriptures; Rev. S. Kevan, of Colebrook offered prayer; Mr. Balchin, the senior decon, gave a brief history of the church from its commencement, 1691, and related the way in which they became acquainted with Mr. Webb, and their reasons for inviting him to the pastorate; after which Mr. Webb gave a concise statement of his faith and practice, which with the other addresses in the afternoon, and a synopsis of the ensuing meeting is to be published in a pamphlet. The Rev. W. A, Blake then addressed the minister in his relation to the church; and the Rev. B. B. Wale, the church in its relation to the minister, both of which were very able addresses; Rev. J. M. Camp, F. Attwood, Ballard, Dowdale, Frith and Pearce also assisted in the services, after a good substantial tea. James Mote, Esq., presided at the evening meeting; the Rev. Stewart Williamson, of the Liberatian Society, delivered a telling address on the church in its relation to the state; Rev. J. M. Camp on the voluntary principle; Mr. Baldwin, the senior deacon, on behalf of the church and congregation, then presented Mr. Webb with a season ticket for the year, and the collections which were also presented, amounted to nearly £6. G. Webb then addressed the meeting on an essential element of the Gospel Mission; Rev. B. B. Wale, on Education and Literature as it bore upon the church, and the Rev. H. Burton on Christian Co-operation. Thus ended a pleasant and profitable day, which augured will for the future of Wild Street. A very interesting meeting was held at the Metropolitan Tabernacle on the 10th of last month, for the formation of a Union of Baptist Ministers and Churches; and was followed by a special prayer meeting at the Tabernacle, accounts of which will appear in January, as it is impossible to find sufficient space to do justice to them in the present number.
